sounds like junk to me, if you can sit there and roast the clutch that much it probably won't take off very well because it would slip on takeoff too. quote:"It has a fairly stock pedal feel with stock like engagement. It is as smooth as butter!" Stock pedal engagement means the pressure plate does not engage any better than stock, and being smooth as butter it must not grab at all, thus the smooth takeoff. This is not a clutch for racing. It may be a sweet daily driver clutch.
